Labassa is an outstanding Victorian era mansion with opulent architectural features. Originally called \u2018Sylliott Hill\u2019, it was renamed \u2018Ontario\u2019 in the 1880s reflecting its new owner Alexander William Robertson\u2019s Canadian heritage. Robertson was a founder of the Cobb and Co. coach company that successfully ran mail services throughout Victoria. He had\u00a0the mansion\u00a0redeveloped in the French Second Empire style by commissioning\u00a0the German born architect, John A. B. Koch, to remodel the house into a thirty-five roomed mansion. The interior\u00a0features gilt embossed wallpapers, ornate stained glass and a rare trompe l\u2019oeil\u00a0ceiling.<\/p>\n

Renamed Labassa in 1904 it was home to Melbourne\u2019s elite until 1920\u00a0when it was divided into flats.\u00a0The residents included Hollywood\u2019s first Australian silent film star and other colourful bohemians. Labassa\u00a0is the most lavish of the few surviving nineteenth century mansions and the magnificently restored interiors of the main rooms again impress all its visitors.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Return to Labassa\u00a0<\/a>Research Project is an active program\u00a0with the ongoing research into the stories of the many residents and tenants who lived at Labassa from 1950 to 1980. \\<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
